Can anyone help with these abstract patterns?

Woohoo! Just got an offer from Hull York!! 2/2 so far

Bruv - LIVING THE DREAM!!!

Congrats lad, amazing stuff.

TheCenturion · 28 Feb 2012 at 21:39

Got a rejection from Birmingham yesterday, no interview

Notts and Leicester interviews weren't bad really.

Offer from Newcastle!
So happy, my first choice!!

Excellent!

Amazing dude! I'm really happy for you. Newcastle's really nice isn't it, everyone who I know that applied there LOVED it.

You bossed it, very nicely. Congrats. Make sure you come to London for Fy1 (assuming I'm still there

)

Thanks bud, so glad we're both heading to our #1s. I look forward to our first yr1 north/south meetup!

Is your offer unconditional?

TheCenturion · 2 Mar 2012 at 19:47

Nice, looks like you're sorted then. I think I may be failing chemistry atm

TheCenturion · 2 Mar 2012 at 19:51

We're doing coursework. We have to investigate the kinetics of a reaction for 4 weeks and produce a massive report on it.

I'm doing butanone and iodine.

TheCenturion · 2 Mar 2012 at 20:16

tres said:
Sounds fun, good luck with that! We haven't ventured to kinetics yet.

It's not fun, believe me

Are you still waiting for Durham to reply?

Chem seems to be amazing when you grasp it all (or at least the small corner in which you're trying to grasp). You can do it!

And yes, Durham to come. Decisions made on the 7th. I'm not expecting anything, really wasn't a fan of the interview

You never know, med interviews can never go well can they? 4/4 would be a brilliant achievement.

What course are you doing? Is it like an access to medicine course type thing?

TheCenturion · 2 Mar 2012 at 20:52

Sounds quite interesting. And you're going to be a doctor soon

TheCenturion · 7 Mar 2012 at 18:35

Offer from Nottingham

Grats to all the soon to be doctors .... I still dont understand nor can solve those abstract patterns

Cheers brother.

tres said:
Huge congrats mate! You must be so happy
We're doing rather well!
Kings still you first choice?

Yeah, King's is for Kings

Nottingham is Nott the place to go to.

I'll get my coat

But seriously, I don't think I'll be going to Shottingham.

Pretty much.

How's your application going?

Was finished before Christmas; got an offer from Oxford GEM. Withdrew from others before any movement except Southampton whom I'm waiting to hear from mainly as an ego trip (they generally don't interview) .

Quality. Congrats mate, you've done it

Offer from Durham - very happy!!!!

4 in 4. Top lad. That's an unbelievable achievement.

Looks like we'll be comparing King's, Oxford and Newcastle next year. Scary stuff.

TheCenturion · 16 Mar 2012 at 14:02

Offer from Leicester.

3 out of 4. Not bad

TheCenturion · 16 Mar 2012 at 16:26

tres said:
Congrats chief!!! It feels good doesn't it? OCUK have collectively nailed it this year.

What results are they all asking for? Are you picking an insurance?

AAA all of them

Although I got an email from Leicester saying that if I don't make the grades, they have no obligation to accept me, but would still consider giving me the place if they had a space available.

So basically, it's AAA or no medschool for me

Leicester will probably be my insurance, what about yours?

Tefal said:
TheCenturion one question can you speak understandable English?

Of course, why :confused:

tres said:
Newcastle, Durham & HYMS have asked for 6 distinctions.
Manchester want overall distinction.

Therefore Manchester is the perfect insurance for me

You're well set then mate!

TheCenturion · 19 Mar 2012 at 20:40

But it's Cambridge

Their medicine course looks horrible.

Grats dude, I just wanna say that if you didn't intend on taking Durham as a choice it would have been more gentlemanly to withdraw prior to getting your decision back.

Not saying for myself as I'm already studying, but I know plenty of people when I applied a few years ago that didn't get a single offer and lost out on their dream.

As nice as it is to brag about getting a clean sweep, imo it's a poor way to start a career based around helping other people.

Surely it would not matter, because if the university had wanted them but had filled their places, then they would have been placed on the waiting list. Then surely by not accepting the offer, he'd be pushing people on the waiting list up.

I don't see how it makes a difference at all. If he doesn't take that place, then someone else has to :confused:
